CD 1 – CD 6 Period
CD 6 – STARTED OPK’s (easy@home – purchased from Amazon) & SMEP – Pretty much failed the plan as we started babydancing everyday because I became a neurotic maniac when I saw the cervical mucus. This was my first time using OPK’s and it made me very anxious, in hindsight I wish I had knew about them earlier. They never worked for me in the evening, I was trying to hold in pee and not drinking anything, it was a tireless cycle omg.
CD 8 – CM: watery babydance
CD 9 – CM: brownish, very thick eggwhite consistency babydance
CD 10 – CM: Thinner than day before, whitish/clear babydance cramped very hard after orgasm & bd
CD 11 –CM: Excessive to the point where it was falling out, it was very slippery and felt silky between my fingers when I felt it, I thought to myself this must be the ideal environment for the swimmers to make it through
very dull cramps in lower abdomen throughout the day babydance
CD 12 – CM: same as yesterday but it was exceptionally clear and even more “egg-whitey” (if that makes any sense) It also dried up like a desert by late afternoon. Had period type cramps all morning, have been having dull cramps for the past few days but on this day they increased in intensity; on a scale of 10 the pain was a 3 cramping concentrated to right side, lower back/ side abdomen area, gassy, ITCHING!! In my arms, neck and face. In the afternoon, 3:20 pm I had a very sharp deep pain in my abdomen between stomach and back, felt like something was grabbing on the inside. In the evening had deep lower back pains, feeling nauseous and very throw-upy. babydance
CD 13 – POSITIVE OPK +++++ Lingering dull ache in lower right side as if something was resting around in there pushing its weight on me and jiggling around. The best way to describe this feeling is to compare it to a ball with a weighted ball on the inside – that’s exactly how it felt. Early morning diarrhea and all I had was a yogurt and my probiotic pill. Weird taste in my mouth all day.. babydance
CD 14 – PEAK OPK(line showed up less than 30 seconds and was significantly darker than test line) I woke up feeling alottttttttt of pressure on my bladder, I thought I had a UTI AND yeast infection, very bad pains on my right side. Pain level 7.5 right side from 9 am – 3pm I marked this as the day I ovulated. What a terribly horribly absolutely wonderful day lol. babydance
1 DPO - The infection type symptoms went away on their own , I had clear watery cm all throughout this but because I've dealt with these issues before, I did not want to babydance. bloating, right side pelvic pain, tight muscles
2 DPO - babydance slight weird tummy tingling felt like my stomach was mixing something
3 DPO – Woke up at 2:30 am to pee and when I laid down I felt some dull but painful cramping. Had a sore throat in the afternoon then period type cramps
4 DPO – 7:30 am – 8 am felt very queasy like I wanted to throwup when all I had was hot water and cream and a biscotti. A large painful bump appeared on the back of my neck/hairline, swollen gums and small canker sore in my upper mouth. CM: creamy , slight cramping , slight headache
5 DPO – really chapped lips, extremely dry omg it was nerve-wracking, Felt a sharp stabbing pain in my upper abdomen around 11 am,it took my breath away but it was very quick lasted all of 2 seconds. 11:30 am period type cramping, itchy eyebrow it was so bad, I couldn’t stop scratching!!!! CM: creamy. Had twinging and pulling and big weight pressure in my tummy, kinda unexplainable.
6 DPO – cramping, Big twinge and pulling in front of my tummy. Smelling period blood
7 DPO –cramping, loose stools, tight ab muscles, heartburn
8 DPO – CM: school glue, period type cramping, twinges and flutters all day, gassy and bad backaches, very tight ab muscles it hurt to laugh after 7 pm when I laid down, at 10:35 pm I felt a huge twinge in my right lower back, then I went home and when I laid down my heart rate started shot up out of nowhere and then went back down.
9 DPO – My stomach felt like I had done a million sit ups then there was stretching sensation for about 2 hours when I laid down at 7 PM
10 DPO CD 24 (January 1st)– Very Faint Positive on easy@home pregnancy strip, AND equate cheap brand blue dye test both showed faint lines but they were definitely there, period type cramping, heartburn
Took a digital on January 6th, which would have been the first day of my period and of course the result was Pregnant.
This may sound really strange but I smelled period blood for a few days but I thought it was my imagination until the smell got stronger. I never got any implantation bleeding, which is what I looked for for days on end. I never had any sore boobs, or symptoms that others were reporting and this made me stress a little. All in all I wish someone had broken it down like this for me so here goes, I hope this helps someone. Its hard to say "don't stress" when its not happening to you but find a hobby, read a book, start a series.. thats how I started to relax throughout.
